Wow iam very glad Burmeister is getting a shot with us I really liked him for us in the mid season but we have so many talls now if he gets picked up it won’t be with us

No Gresham or Vigo.

You’d think Gresham is being held over and VIGO will play against GWS.

Good to see Davey playing in the backline

I reckon Perkins is garbage. But starting in centre square gives him a chance to re-launch his career. Been a ball watcher in the first few mins.

Nguyen fantastic.

Yeah, and some dreadful defensive work.

Two marks up the ground by Gerreyn already.

Not sure I see much to work with in Unwin. I remember his speed being a strength apparently but don’t think I’ve ever seen it used.

No vigo?

That goal was from Perkins opponent. They started next to each other.

He lacks a lot of craft.

Rested for Thursday

Perkins managed to give that bloke 3m of space at a CBA so he could ghost train through…
